The present invention relates to an expression vector that carries a polynucleotide coding for a coagulation factor VIII variant and increases protein expression capacity, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the expression vector for preventing or treating hemorrhagic disease or hemorrhage. The factor VIII variant of the present invention is derived by deleting a part (residues 784-1667) of the B-domain and a part (residues 1668-1671) of the a3 region in factor VIII and, as a result, an expression vector carrying a polynucleotide coding for the factor VIII variant is remarkably increased in protein expression capacity.
